The Mature Christian

In Ephesians 4, the apostle Paul confronted guilt, resentment, and anger. Paul taught these believers to replace anger with the forgiveness for which Christ forgave us. Christians must accept God’s unconditional love and give that love back to God and others. While Christians value the opinions of others greater than their own, the opinions of others is not God’s Word. These do not deserve the Christian’s attention more than the Word of God. Paul spoke about how faith and knowledge of the Son of God produces a mature Christian. The mature Christian finds importance and value in Jesus Christ apart from seeking significance in personal accomplishments or in pleasing everyone else. Christ must become the fullness of the Christian’s life. God is enough for the mature Christian. The apostle Paul urged Christians to renew the Spirit of the mind to put off the old person and put on the new.
